Queen Waiting For Clearance From Michael Jackson’s Estate On Unreleased Fre

Arguably the most eagerly awaited tracks to be found on Queen‘s next album, ‘Queen Forever,’ are the official release of some duets Freddie Mercury made with Michael Jackson. However, drummer Roger Taylor says that Jackson’s estate is currently holding up the proceedings.
“[Yes], if we could get a decision from the Michael Jackson estate, who seem to be, well, difficult,” Taylor told the London Evening Standard. “William Orbit did a really nice mix of one of our tracks with Michael and I’m pretty certain that will be on ‘Queen Forever.’ But it’s been like wading through glue.”
Taylor and guitarist Brian May have been working with Orbit on completing unfinished music that in their vaults and debuted one of the possible songs, ‘Love Kills,’ this summer while on the road with Adam Lambert. While they hope to have it ready by Christmas, Taylor admitted that he’s still a bit vague on the details.
“I’m not quite sure what’s on it yet,” he continued. “We’ve got some great new tracks that haven’t been heard and there’s an interesting selection of older stuff.”

imho. they should dig those wacko vocals and publish a queenifized version of TMBMTLTT.

don't care for those other two songs any more.
i mean... those wackos got two really fine musicians who polished up and let produce some average demos that are some 30 years old ... and all they say is... nothing at all ? hilarious.
especially when you got those real good artists working on something which would never see the day of light (BM and RT, that is)

for what it means is that we either shouldn't count on a certain quality, which i rather doubt - or that it's all about the money.. so.
if you get a pocket full of money and demand a bucket full of it... well... that's a very odd behavior.
dig that shit by any means.!

I'd love to see State Of Shock with Freddie's vocals only, reworked by Queen, but as it's Michael's song this must be impossible to release. But what about forgotten "Victory"? They wrote it together according to Phoebe.

I'd like to release a "tero! 48531+Freddie Mercury+Michael Jackson" EP, and I have just as much of a legal and moral right to do it as Roger.

Where can I go to cry about the cruelty of the MJ estate, and be interviewed about it?

does the world need this ? if it was any good in terms of songwriting, it would have been published years ago. those wacko-clowns got irritated because they have no idea that british music is way different than american. and there you have a product polished by two englishmen. which surely is so far from being MJ-branded as a fish is interested in riding bikes.
all assumption, of course. my very own opinion. for what it's worth.
*gmpf*

I guess there are less people waiting for the Jacko tracks than they might think there are...

Yawn, bored now. Bring on Hammersmith !!!

It would be great if they could just edit out wacko's voice altogether.

Of course that would be racist..............

Would it be m train

"It either comes quickly, and you have it. And I say yes we have it. But if a song isn't happening I say forget it let's try something else" Freddie Mercury.

Quite an apt comment I think. These Jacko tracks should be left forgotten. I don't care how polished and we'll produced they are. You can't polish a turd!

If the Freddie and the kid fucker songs were any good, they would have been released when it could have helped them both get blown.

Hey, that would be a good sig line........good one.

Oh, and EVERYTHING here in the US is racist unless your black, then the rules don't apply.

Surely that's the easiest way of doing it? Then it's a Queen cover of a Jacksons song, and no permission is necessary...

Easiest, yes, but not the most profitable.

You have to remember that it's about QP making money, not about fans getting rare songs.

We've all heard these Freddie/MJ songs on YouTube, anyway. I hope they have some stuff to be released that hasn't been leaked in previous years...Queen songs...I don't care about MJ. I'd REALLY love to hear unreleased tracks from the '70's!
